Stuba exposes a public B2B hotel-distribution developer portal with content and booking APIs, test access, certification and production onboarding.
Core lifecycle
Hotel/Region Search
-> result / quote identity
-> BookingPrepare (refresh)
-> BookingConfirm
-> BookingQuery / HCN
-> BookingCancelThis makes Stuba a strong canonical example of search → recheck → booking semantics.
Access model
The current JSON API uses an AuthApiKey and IP allowlisting. Stuba documents separate test and production environments and requires certification before live access.
Content vs live search
Content API and live availability should have different freshness models. Property/content mapping should not depend on ephemeral search result IDs.
Performance note
Stuba publicly notes availability response times can vary by search shape. Multi-supplier metasearch should therefore use provider-specific latency budgets rather than blocking on Stuba indefinitely.
Failure modes
- stale quote/result identity,
- skipped BookingPrepare,
- IP/auth mismatch,
- booking UNKNOWN state,
- hotel/room mapping drift.
Observability
Track search latency, quote-refresh changes, booking-confirm unknown state, cancellation status and content/live mapping coverage.
